ObjectiveThis study aims to elucidate the potential mechanism of Zuojinwan in improving liver fibrosis through hepatic tissue metabolomics analysis. MethodsTwenty-four mice were randomly allocated into normal group, model group , positive drug group (silymarin, 100 mg·kg-1), and Zuojinwan group (Zuojinwan solution, 2.5 g·kg-1), with per group six mice. Liver fibrosis model was induced via intraperitoneal injection of olive oil solution with 10% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) (0.5 μL·g-1, three times weekly for 8 weeks) in all groups except the normal group. During the final 4 weeks, the silymarin group received silymarin (100 mg·kg-1) by gavage thrice weekly, while the Zuojinwan group was administered Zuojinwan solution (2.5 g·kg-1) under the same regimen. After the last administration, the levels of liver fibrosis indicators and liver injury markers in serum were detected. The pathological morphological changes of the liver tissues were observed. The levels of liver fibrosis markers α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Collagen Ⅰ(ColⅠ) were detected. Metabolomics was analyzed on mice's liver tissues. The mice's serum was collected for metabolomics analysis. ResultsCompared with the model group, Zuojinwan significantly improved indicators related to liver fibrosis and liver injury. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly elevated levels of fibrosis markers such as laminin (LN), hyaluronic acid (HA), procollagen typeⅢ (PC-Ⅲ), and type Ⅳ Collagen (Ⅳ-C), while liver injury indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and total bilirubin (TBIL), exhibited a marked upward trend (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the silymarin group showed a significant decrease in the aforementioned indicators (P<0.05). Notably, compared with the model group, the Zuojinwan group exhibited a significant reduction in all these indicators (P<0.05), with efficacy comparable to that of the silymarin group. Zuojinwan reduced mRNA and protein levels of α-SMA and ColⅠ in the liver tissue. Metabolomics results revealed that compared with the model group, Zuojiinwan significantly reduced levels of glucose metabolism-related metabolites such as D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), sodium beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), fumaric acid, and D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) (P<0.05). Serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect glucose metabolism indicators and further validate the regulatory effect of Zuojinwan on glucose metabolism. ConclusionThese results suggest that Zuojinwan may improve liver fibrosis by regulating the dysregulated levels of glucose metabolism during the progression of liver fibrosis.

Under the current upsurge of cross-disciplinary research between artificial intelligence (AI) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the inheritance of academic thought in TCM is confronted with the deep-seated predicament of cognitive paradigm dislocation. The existing AI model is based on the classical reasoning mode of formal logic and statistical probability, which is difficult to adapt to the nonlinear and holistic cognitive logic of TCM with image-based thinking and syndrome-differentiated treatment as the core, resulting in systematic misreading and loss of the core essence in digital inheritance. Based on this, this paper proposes to construct a new cognitive model oriented towards the context of TCM. Its essence is not to have AI imitate the thinking of TCM, but to establish an auxiliary understanding framework based on semantic mapping and relational reasoning. It is advocated that the role of AI should be reconstructed from a knowledge substitute to a clinical interactor, and its application boundary in the inheritance of TCM wisdom should be clarified. By establishing the theoretical framework and practical path of human-computer collaboration, this paper aims to provide a scientific basis for realizing the deep integration of AI technology and the academic thought in TCM.

Liver fibrosis is a critical pathological stage in the progression of chronic liver diseases, involving the interaction between multiple mechanisms such as abnormal activation of hepatic stellate cells and extracellular matrix deposition. Since traditional animal models and two-dimensional cell culture systems cannot faithfully recapitulate the complex multicellular interactions and metabolic microenvironment of human liver fibrosis, three-dimensional liver organoid technologies have gradually been used in the construction of liver fibrosis models, providing novel research methods for mechanistic studies and therapeutic evaluation. Focusing on the construction of liver fibrosis-related organoid models, this article elaborates on the association of abnormal activation of hepatic stellate cells, chronic inflammatory response, gut-liver axis signaling, and lipid metabolic dysregulation with the progression of liver fibrosis and summarizes the current research advances in the application of organoid models for anti-fibrotic drug screening and targeted therapeutic assessment. Finally, this article briefly discusses the limitations of existing organoid models for liver fibrosis and future research directions, in order to provide a theoretical reference for both basic research and clinical application in liver fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic significance of germline mutations in patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) .Methods:Clinical data from 407 patients with MDS [male, 252; female, 155; median age, 64 (range, 19-85) years] diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical features and prognostic effects of germline mutations were evaluated.Results:The prevalence of germline mutations in patients with MDS was 5.9% (24/407), peaking at 20.0% in the group aged 21-30 years. The spectrum of germline mutations comprised DDX41 (9 cases, 2.2%), TP53 (3 cases, 0.7%), and single cases of RUNX1, TET2, MPL, CBL, ATRX, CEBPA, ETV6, IDH1, KDM5C, SBDS, GNAS, and CTC1. Patients with germline mutations exhibited significantly lower peripheral WBC counts than those without (1.87×10 9/L vs 2.50×10 9/L, P=0.018), but showed comparable median overall survival (21.3 months vs 21.1 months, P=0.97). Patients with DDX41 germline mutations, compared with those with other germline mutations, had a significantly older median age (65 vs 54 years, P=0.010), lower WBC counts (1.51×10 9/L vs 2.31×10 9/L, P=0.040), increased mean corpuscular volume (111.80 fl vs 97.25 fl, P=0.003), and a higher prevalence of normal karyotypes (100.0% vs 53.3%, P=0.022). The most frequently co-occurring somatic mutations in DDX41 germline mutation carriers were ASXL1, TET2, and RUNX1. Conclusion:In this study, the detection rate of germline mutations in MDS patients was 5.9% (24/407), peaking at 20% in the group aged 21-30 years. DDX41 and TP53 were the most prevalent germline mutations. DDX41 mutation carriers displayed distinct clinical characteristics; however, germline mutations overall showed no significant prognostic effect.

Objective:To explore the current status of quality of life of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and its influencing factors based on the health ecology model (HEM) , and to provide a scientific basis for the development of health education programs for RA patients.Methods:From November 2023 to April 2024, 230 RA patients in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, were selected for the study using convenience sampling method. Patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases in RA (QLICD-RA) , Health Literacy Management Scale, Social Support Rate Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Chronic Disease Self-Management Study Measures, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and Visual Analogue Scale. Pearson and Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between quality of life and health literacy, social support, disease perception, self-management behaviors, fear of disease progression, fear of exercise, medication adherence, pain catastrophizing, and pain in RA patients. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the quality of life of RA patients.Results:A total of 230 questionnaires were distributed and 228 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 99.13% (228/230) . The total QLICD-RA score of 228 RA patients was (137.53±27.57) . Duration of disease, disease perception, pain, pain catastrophizing, self-management behavior, joint deformity, morning stiffness duration, gastrointestinal response, sleep, social support, and main economic sources were the factors influencing the quality of life of RA patients ( P<0.05) , explaining 83.6% of the total variance. Conclusions:The quality of life of RA patients is moderate, and its influencing factors are distributed at all levels of HEM. Healthcare professionals can optimize the health education program for the main influencing factors of each layer, focusing on guiding patients to correctly understand the disease, stimulating the subjective initiative of patients, enhancing the ability of patients to actively manage the disease, and improving the quality of life of patients.
